The Lowndesville correspondent of the

says: "Mr. Pruitt, living two OF three
miles above here, went to Anderson last

and broke his good leg-he had been lame

childhood"
Mr.. G. A. Reed has added Musical In

of smaller instruments-fddles, bapjos,
guitars, &C., which they can sell at re-.
markably low rates. Gives these gentle

Last Monday afternoon, Walter McFall,
a 14.year-old son of DR.. ]. T. McFall, Of
this city, met with most painful though,
it's hoped, not serious accident at the
Savannah Valley Railroad turntable. The
train hands were engaged in turning the
engine, and Walter was assisting them,
when he was caught between the table and
q post, which stood on the inside of the
embankment that surrounds the table.
His right thigh was painfully bruised,
and, it is feared, his spine is injured.
Miss Charlotte Rimmer, who has been

She will spend year or two more in this
country, and will then return to her ma
tive land. She is a most accomplished
lady, speaking huently four or five Ian
guages, and as musician she has few
equals. Her friends in Anderson wish
her pleasant and safe trip to her destina-

There is. considerable complaint among
a number of the taxpayers of the city in
reference to the action of the City Council
in continuing the street tax at s4.OO per
capita. We think, too, the Council have
made mistake by 30 doing Two dollars
per head is sufficient. The present tax is
burden upon the laboring class, and will
tend to decrea Sc our population. We
should do everything to encourage people
to settle in the corporate limits of the city,
for we need larger populat ton. Take a
man who has two or three boys over six.
teen years of age, and it is great hard
